Headmassage - Shiro-Abhyanga

Indulgence for body and mind

This form of massage not only increases physical - but also mental well-being, too.

A quiet, cozy place where you can sit or lie comfortably is particularly important in order to achieve relaxation. Depending on your taste, candles, relaxing music and a special scent can help to relax.

Futhermore, a properly manufactured quality herbal oil should be used prescribed by a doctor according to the condition of the person that recieves the treatment.

Head massage is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck and shoulder, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp. Circular massage movements are carried out with the fingertips to revitalize the hair and scalp. Mental and muscular tension are released by pressure on the scalp and forehead. However, strokes should always be gentle when massaging the skull base.
